Lower East Side

from Big Time Baby by Lesley Barth

lyrics

I lost my love on the Lower East Side -
Drove off to park and he hitched a ride.
He called the next day a country away
How come my babies never stay?

My love it was true, my love it was kind.
Its eyes were so blue that you’d lose your mind.
I wanted to cross but the river was wide.
Ah

There’s something ‘bout fear that clings to your bones.
In a room full of friends you still feel alone.
And it gets too hard to pick up the phone.
Ah

I’m not ready for the big time, baby.
I’m not ready for the big time.
I’m not ready for the big time, baby
I’m not ready for the big time.

I held out my heart in a paper bag.
He took a big bite and threw it right back.
Now I’m always unsure of just what I lacked.
Ah

Oh the blindness of youth it makes us too bold,
But the sadness of age can make us too cold.
If I ever hit the sweet spot I didn’t know.
Ah

I’m not ready for the big time, baby.
I’m not ready for the big time.

I lost my love on the Lower East Side.
I lost my love on the Lower East Side.
I lost my love on the Lower East Side.

I’m not ready for the big love, baby.
I’m not ready for the big love.
I’m not ready for the big time, baby.
I’m not ready for the big time.
